HC Deb 21 March 1951 vol 485 c286W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Food why he proposes to spend £2,800,000 on new slaughterhouses.

Mr. Webb

I do not know where the hon. Member gets his figure of £2,800,000 from. I hope, however, to make an early statement about the building of new slaughterhouses, the need for which is urgent and widely recognised by local authorities and trade interests.
